Gram Parsons - Fallen Angel description
Cynics have suggested that death is a shrewd career move for some artists, and when it comes to singer-songwriter Gram Parsons, whose life, work, and demise are chronicled in Fallen Angel, they may be right. Although undeniably talented, Parsons never had a hit and made just six albums, and only one of them (the Flying Burrito Brothers' The G ... review details

A great account of HIS story!
|
Although there are biographies about Gram Parsons, and if you need a quick fix on exactly who Gram Parsons is, get this DVD. Back in his days, I never heard of Gram Parsons, nor the Flying Burrito Brothers, because his music never did hit smalltown mainstream rock and roll radio. But, several years ago, hearing him on an anthology of Emmy Lou Harris, I kept asking... who is this guy??? They dueted beautifully and she pays a lot of respect toward him.
You will hear more details from close friends, like Keith Richards from the Stones, Chris Hillman previously from the Byrds, and bandmates. But the voices and faces of his family and very close friends provide details of his saddened, dysfunctional but wealthy family. Unlike many rock stars, Parsons started his career with money in hand, more like .. struggled in the music business with nice financial security!
Watching this DVD, you will fully understand how he began, his unique rockabilly, honky-tonk, sound, his fashion, including much on the "nudie suits" that became such a statement. And, of course, the ever present drug scene, the train tour, and what's more, there are musical performances of Parsons, but not a whole lot. You will get plenty of detail on that dreaded "stealing of the body" story.
There is a tribute performance to Gram Parsons, however, Emmy Lou and Chris Hillman are not present, not even mentioned! [[ASIN:B000777I74 Return to Sin City - A Tribute to Gram Parsons]].
Plus, an excellent tribute was paid to him that did include Emmy Lou, Chris Hillman, Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams and more. I cannot find it on DVD, but it is a full show, "Sessions at West 54th" 1999. It is a deserving tribute, well done!
